Overshadowed by Honky Chateau’s bigger hit, Rocket Man, this brassier single finds Elton in playful mood: “Time to drink whisky!” 47.
New lyricist Gary Osbourne doesn’t yet conjure the same magic. One of Elton’s most joyous tunes, but the toe-curling lyrics (“Island girl, what you wanting with the white man’s world?”) are presumably why he retired this single from live shows in 1990.Įlton starts a six-year break from otherwise career-long songwriting partner Bernie Taupin.
